Inauguration 2009

Just some random thoughts on the topic.

Michelle's coat was fantastic! Regal, elegant, yet functional. And the gloves matched!

The girls, Malia and Sasha looked nifty too. I especially like the orange:

I know she's a legend and needs to keep her head warm, but was that bow really necessary?

I always like seeing Bill and Al together. Makes misty for the good old days of the Gay 90s:

It must have been riveting to see the festivities live, but my guess is these two poor souls didn't have much fun. Unless there's liquor under those blankets:

Gavin and Arnold? Huh? Get the hell out of here:

Nice to see Teddy is well enough to attend. Good for you, ya old goat!

My favorite picture of them all, seeing the Bushes on their way OUT! Good riddance!

Old Crow Medicine Show "Wagon Wheel"

For the last week or so, this song has been playing on a continual loop in my brain.




Finally seeing the video makes me laugh - just some nice fellas and some odd, regular gals. Actually I just saw the guys on Austin City Limits and they were terrif. Their "Old Timey" music seems so damned fresh and new.

Let that "Wagon Wheel" ride!

Andrew Lippa's "The Wild Party"

I saw a production of this on Sunday. It was terrific. The singers were top notch and the show even had a live band. I think that's great for community theater.

The show was pretty wild with more grinding and fake sex than I've seen in ages. At one point the lead has the other lead bent over and he's "doing her", all the while singing a big song (who does that in real life besides show queens?).

If that weren't enough, during a sweet mournful ballad, down stage right was a couple canoodling and the woman giving the guy a hand-job for the whole song. Crazy shit! I guess that's what they meant by "mature" material.

Here's a number from a production by Ball State University (ironic name, huh?). It's the big comedic moment in the depraved show. "Old-fashioned (Lesbian) Love Story". I need to get that on CD.

Golden Globes 2009

Some random thoughts.

Rumer Willis - looks too much like her dad, Bruce. And that horse face. Ewe...

What's the big deal about Brad? Bad skin and stupid sun glasses. Get over yourself.

Demi looks fantastic. But they both look naked without cigarettes.

Oh I get the Brad thing now. He looks so natural standing next to Morticia Addams.

Best Dressed! A daring, different dress and Renée looks stunning. I love this look!

Someone call the police! Beyonce is being held against her will.

An unnatural beauty with a mountain of pancake make-up. Don't believe ANY good photo of this woman EVER. They're all retouched. Maybe she should get that skin stuff Jessica Simpson pimps.

2nd Best Dressed! Kate Winslett looks ravishing in this not-so classic dress.

Fug! This woman will do anything to go naked. And with the looks of her rolls over the back of the dress, I think she should rethink that. "Hey mom...stay at home!"

Natural beauty! Ahh youth. This picture just makes me smile.

More pancake - at such an early age too. Sad really. "Hey Hayden... IHOP wants your face back!"

DARING HAIR! I laughed at first, but is certainly the best bed-head I've seen in quite some time. And I think Drew pulls it off. Fun, fun, fun!

Poor Anna - or is that Pancake Anna...ick!

"Touch-a, touch-a, touch-a, TOUCH ME... I want to feel dirty..." Tim Robbins is a lucky man.

The Angelina minion. Fucking ugly tattoos. 'nuff said!

The butchest boy of the bunch. Has the bear-ness to pull off this beard. "Hey Tony! Woof"... yum...

Hands down, funniest man on the planet. Best line of the night, "Winslett, I told you a Holocaust movie would get you to win the award."
